It's a thing called 'sociability'. You know, engaging with people, having conversations, empathising, interactions. That kinda thing.weeksy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2024 1:47 pmIs this a banker thing?gremlin wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2024 11:38 amFor the record, I've posted on here previously (Pleasing purchase thread, IIRC) about a coat I bought in Modena, Italy some years back. Wasn't silly money, about Eur 120, I think. Always gets complimented upon when I wear it. Today, having worn it to the office, I've had three colleagues try it on, comment how nice it is and ask me where I got it from.
I casually inform them that I have a preferred gentleman's outfitter in Italy.
Why are you speaking to people?
Why would anyone ever ask to try on someone else's coat?
I'm lead to believe it's an important trait in human development. I refer to my my previous post about the security guard I chose to interact with this morning. He could have stood their, like a miserable twat. Conversely, I could have rudely ignored his salutation. As it is, I believe we both benefited spiritually, albeit in a minor way, via our interaction.
